Volunteers

Lucia Gil

Project Manager

Lucia is currently studying towards a BA Degree in Global Politics and International Relations to aid on her quest to save the world (or make it a better place). She has ample experience in working with Charities, Non-for Profit organisations and Social Services providers within a Private or Public setting. So far her interesting CV, offering an array of skills has been a major push for our small charity.

“I did not have a second thought about volunteering for SIKAT, as soon as Linda mentioned the nature of the services offered I was keen. When we met for an informal interview I could then read (and see) the very well documented trajectory of SIKAT’s work, as well as the immediate transformation in the community. I become smitten and pledged my help for ever more.“

Cristina got involved in the early stage of setting up Sikat at the age of 16, volunteering whilst studying at school. For over six years she has continued to assist with editorial work, writing articles to publish on the Sikat website, assisting with correspondence and fund-raising letters and helping with leaflet design. She also re-designed the charity's headed paper and organised its computer files systematically. She is a great contributor who helps to ensure that the paperwork required by the Charity Commission is above standard.
